About

You wake up as a ghost, with no memory of who you were or how you died. The only clue to your past is the empty suit of armour you now possess.
As you explore an abandoned castle and piece together your memories, you’ll uncover your tale: A tale of broken promises, regret, and bonds that last beyond death.
But your story doesn’t have to die with you.

The Last Winter Knight is an atmospheric Gothic visual novel that features:
A melancholy story where you play as a ghostly knight haunting a suit of armour, featuring over 100k words.
Point and click segments that let you explore a lonely castle.*
Hand-drawn artwork that captures a dark fairy tale feel.
A pensive piano soundtrack that subtly shifts depending on where and what you examine.
Multiple endings to uncover: Will you remained trapped in your armour, or finally find peace?

The Last Winter Knight is 100% human made – mostly by one human, a solo developer who painted each frame, recorded and edited every track, typed every line of code and constantly agonised over word choices. Thank you so much for checking out this game and huge labour of love!
A special thank you to the people who helped make this project possible:
Wanpans Armoury for providing armour foley, playtesting and acting as a consultant for medieval arms, armour and general knowledge. There are many, many breaks from reality in this fantasy game, none of which are their fault.
Cobaye and Sammy L. for playtesting and moral support.
ArcanaXIX for the haunting cello performances.
n3ur0515 (Neur) for editing the trailer.
Jason Cura for additional last-minute audio assistance.
And friends and family and for their support.

This game is beautiful. The story is beautiful, the art is beautiful, the music is beautiful. It's emotional, heart-breaking, and downright amazing. The story changes depending on literally everything you do. You will fall in love with all the characters. I cried with how truly amazing this game was.
I really enjoyed the story, it's storytelling and atmosphere were extremely engaging.
Hauntingly beautiful in every way, a story I think will stick with me for years to come. Music matches the tone so well and really elevates the emotions. I cried multiple times on my first playthrough, and am now determined to try and get all the endings
I don't play visual novels. But I wanted to start giving them a try. And wow... I just finished this devastatingly beautiful story. Fantastic art and an amazing atmosphere combine to set a somber and melancholy story about love and loss. The tragedy of never truly knowing those around you, the assumptions we are driven to make, and how much we miss out on when we choose to leave words unspoken. It's been a long time since I've read a tragedy. This is one that will stay with me for a long time. 8.7 hours of story and I was lucky enough to reach the "True" ending of my first run. I will have to go back sometime to find the others.
The Last Winter Knight is a game I have been excited for for a good long while. From the original demo, the updated demo, to release; The Last Winter Knight has consistently been a treat to play time and time again, but the full story and ending itself was well worth the wait, Balancing both melancholic and touching, I would absolutely recommend for anyone who has some time to cozy up and experience all the twists and turns.
Подарок от друга на день рождение - так что бесплатно. Для меня новелла оказалась тяжеловатой, ибо я стараюсь избегать пятнистой морали. За исключение одного персонажа, все имеют серую мораль, но логика всё равно одна - любовь. Я играл на английском - офф. ру тут нет как и указано, переводы особо и не интересовали. Языком не владею в совершенстве, но навыка хватило чтобы вникнуть в историю и даже сочувствовать оным. Счастье тут есть лишь в воспоминаниях... постфактум. Даже концептуально... тут не может быть хэппи энда, когда ты призрак бродящий по руинам места некогда бывшим домом для нас, но я всё же доволен концовкой, которую смог получить - Dawn
I think I've played almost all of Endysis's games in itch and in the comment section, I have poured my absolute adoration for his storytelling, music, and art. I truly think Endysis is a wonderful writer and this game solidified it for me. As I unraveled the mystery in this game, I felt like I wanted to die from sadness and grief. I felt so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad. I loved all the characters and my heart broke with how tragically everything turned out. God, they deserved so much more. The game really built a beautiful tragedy that engaged with the reality of its setting. It did not shy away from ruining the romance of medieval times and in fact, worked to deconstruct the idea of a knightly hero. Allowing the players to constantly return to items also made the game like a puzzle. I got really excited whenever I came across a situation where I could use an item I saw before. But also, just the accompanying character introspection whenever you go back to an item is such a great way to flesh out their personality. Again, this game is so beautifully written. The art is also absolutely gorgeous but if you play Endysis's other games you'll know that is a given. As well as the music. No one makes melancholic, mournful tunes like Endysis. God, I love this game so much. Endysis, this is really amazing!!
An unexpected gem. Tragic and heartbreaking. The story, characters, art, writing and music are brilliant and all of these pieces came together for an unforgettable experience. One of the best I’ve ever read. The storytelling and plot twists gave me that long-lost feeling when you're trying to piece it all together but just can't quite figure out what really happened. That's rare and that's precious. I got the true ending on my first run, collected as many memories as I could, but it still wasn’t enough. Ended up with all endings and achievements, and honestly? I wish I could go back and and experience it all over again for the first time. Especially, I loved the little detail of lighting candles in memory of those who’ve passed. There are so many hidden details you notice from different perspectives ( [spoiler] especially when praying for certain characters [/spoiler] ). Definitely gonna replay this sometime and check out the dev’s other games. This was supposed to be a quick couple-hour read before bed, but it swallowed me whole. Hope, love, regret, and pain. Absolute masterpiece.
I.. can't remember the last time I've cried this hard. The story and music so beautiful and gripping, and I'll honestly need a few more days to process everything. I was lucky enough to get the true ending on first try, and I'm so glad I did. The only thing extra thing I wish is included in the game is the gallery, because I want to traceback on the CGs I got but couldn't.
Beautiful, both art and story
